Well, I haven’t been here for a while.
But here’s an update! Just finished Warhammer 40k commission for my friend.
It’s Tyranid Scythed Hierodule from Forge World, hand-painted with Citadel paints.
I was supposed to make it look easy to copy for my friend.

I have a few started/ready to paint figures, but somehow I can’t make myself into mood to make any. I get distracted way too easily, can’t find enough time to just sit and paint without breaks, or my neck starts to hurt. Soon™.

That’s something I don’t do everyday. My friend asked me to paint few units of his Warhammer 40k army. This is one of them (the largest one and actually a resin kit).
That’s quite challenging for me, since I never had to follow W40K painting schemes (this one is made by my friend using official colours) and using Citadel paints at all. But it’s still fun 😀

But! I’m happy, because I’m waiting for Citadel Tool Kit, which is gift from my family (mainly because my father, as an old modeler, likes it as well) and they managed to find it in one of Polish internet shops for price of ~70$ and with free shipping. Yay!

Also, I got about 1 kilogram of modeling clay, so I’m having materials for my project’s base. Obviously it isn’t polymer clay (it’s way too expensive for me, yet), but I’m pretty sure it’s going to work well.

Besides that, I’ll have to buy some supplies, before I’ll start to paint. I think I’m going to get Mr. White Base, to apply it right before painting, but I need to check up if local store have it. Still, I’m not sure, if I’m going to handbrush or airbrush my kits and… Which brand’s paints should I use :(? I’m thinking about Mr. Color, about Pactra, or Citadel paints. As for now I’m pretty sure I’m not going to use emanel, like Humbrol’s (though I used them before), I prefer to get some acrylics. And here’s another question – which sealers should I use?
